Nor could Tennessee stop the Gators (11-2, 2-0) from taking almost any shot they wanted. Florida shot 64.8 percent from the field, and the victory - Florida's sixth straight - far surpassed the 22-point margin that had stood as Florida's biggest in the series.

Walsh scored 10 points in each half. David Lee had 17 points and Anthony Roberson finished with 15 on 6-for-8 shooting.

Scooter McFadgon, the SEC's leading scorer, went 3-for-13 for 12 points. The poor shooting performance brought back memories of his 3-for-22 effort in Tennessee's only other loss this season, to Nebraska on Dec. 13.

Brandon Crump, C.J. Watson and John Winchester each had 11 points for Tennessee.

Crump, Tennessee's primary inside threat, was limited to two shots during a first half in which Florida went ahead big early and never looked back.

No. 7 Kentucky 75, No. 20 Vanderbilt 63: In Lexington, Ky., Kelenna Azubuike, Gerald Fitch and Erik Daniels each scored 16 points and Kentucky opened defense of its SEC title with a victory over Vanderbilt.

Kentucky (10-1) committed 23 turnovers but held off a second-half rally by the Commodores (12-1, 1-1 SEC), who had been off to the best start in school history.

Kentucky, which went 16-0 in the SEC last season and also won the league tournament, has not lost to Vanderbilt in 27 games at Rupp Arena since the facility opened during the 1976-77 season.

The Wildcats have won 16 of their last 17 SEC openers and 22 of their last 23 games against Vanderbilt.

Vanderbilt, which lost by 62 points at Kentucky last season, cut a 13-point deficit to 57-55 on Matt Freije's three-point play with 5:52 left, but Kentucky scored 11 of the next 13 points.

A driving, off-balance, left-handed shot by Cliff Hawkins gave Kentucky a 68-57 lead with 3:24 left, and the Commodores came no closer than seven points the rest of the way.

Azubuike matched his career high in points (set last season against Vanderbilt) and grabbed a career-high 11 rebounds. Daniels, who scored or assisted on Kentucky's first seven baskets, added seven rebounds and four assists, and Fitch had six assists. The Wildcats recorded assists on 20 of their 27 baskets.

No. 22 Mississippi St. 80, Arkansas 62: In Starkville, Miss., Lawrence Roberts had his way with Arkansas in the paint, getting 29 points and 11 rebounds to keep Mississippi State unbeaten with a victory.

The Bulldogs (13-0, 2-0 SEC) are off to the best start in school history as they head into a key portion of their schedule. Mississippi State hosts No. 7 Kentucky on Tuesday night, then plays road games at LSU and No. 14 Florida.

Billy Pharis scored 18 points to lead Arkansas (8-5, 0-2), which has lost four straight trips to Starkville. Ronnie Brewer had 14 points and seven rebounds.

Shane Power came off the bench to add 14 points for the Bulldogs.

The Razorbacks had no answer for Roberts' combination of power, size and quickness.

The transfer from Baylor scored on a variety of bullish moves in the first half, on his way to 19 points.

Early in game, he swiped an offensive rebound with one hand and slid down the baseline for a scoop shot.

Moments later, he wrestled away another offensive rebound from the arms of a Razorback and muscled his way in for a layup while getting hammered. He came away from the pack, huffing and puffing and pounding his chest with his fist - then calmly converted the three-point play.

Auburn 80, Mississippi 53: In Auburn, Ala., Marco Killingsworth had 16 points and 10 rebounds and Auburn dominated the boards in a victory over Mississippi, the second-largest margin in the rivalry's 107-game history.

Auburn shot 56 percent to 42 percent for the Rebels while doubling them up on rebounds, 40-20.

The rout was a rarity in recent years for the series, with the previous eight games decided by a combined 29 points. The Tigers have won the past four meetings.

The only game more lopsided in the series was the Rebels' 93-65 win in 1974.

Auburn scored the game's first eight points, led by 17 at halftime and by as many as 34 before both coaches emptied the benches in the final five minutes.

Justin Reed was the only Ole Miss player to score more than six points, finishing with 20 on 9-of-13 shooting. But he got little accomplished in the post, relying instead on his outside shot. The Rebels' other two inside starters - Aaron Harper and Tommie Eddie - combined for just nine points and five rebounds.

Killingsworth, Davis and Robinson combined to make 14 of 20 shots and collect 24 boards. Robinson had 11 second-half points.

It was Killingsworth's first double-double performance of the season and fifth of his career.

Auburn hadn't allowed so few points against Ole Miss since giving up only 46 in 1981. The Tigers made 28 of 38 free throws compared to just 5-of-13 for the Rebels.

The Tigers built their biggest lead of the first half, 39-22, in the final moments and opened the second on a 20-7 run before cruising the rest of the way.

Ole Miss, which has lost two straight after a six-game winning streak, managed only seven first-half rebounds.
